Tesla’s Budget Car Is Finally Happening… Kind Of

July 25, 2025July 25, 2025 by educatekaroin News, EV, TechLeave a Comment

Tesla just confirmed that its long-rumored cheap EV is real—and yes, production actually started in June. But don’t get too excited just yet. Full-scale rollout won’t happen until late 2025. The company’s focusing on pushing out pricier models first, before the $7,500 EV tax credit ends in September. Elon Musk hinted it’s not a totally new car, but a stripped-down Model Y. If true, it could shake up the EV market—assuming it doesn’t eat into Tesla’s own sales. After years of promises, the pressure’s on to finally deliver an affordable Tesla that actually reaches the masses.

On July 21, Tesla opened its first-ever Supercharger Diner in Los Angeles — a 1950s-style retro spot blended with futuristic Tesla tech. Elon Musk confirmed it’s not just a one-off; similar experiences are coming to major cities worldwide and key long-distance Supercharger stops. Even non-Tesla drivers can swing by for a burger or shake, but features like in-car ordering and synced movie screens are exclusive to Tesla vehicles. While it may not shift Tesla’s revenue needle, the unique vibe could nudge some visitors into becoming Tesla fans.

Uber Bets Big on Robotaxis with Massive Deal Involving Lucid and Nuro

July 17, 2025July 17, 2025 by educatekaroin News, AI, Business, EV, TechLeave a Comment

Uber is making a bold move into the robotaxi space by investing hundreds of millions in Lucid and Nuro, planning to launch 20,000+ autonomous SUVs starting in 2026. Lucid’s luxury Gravity SUV will be fitted with Nuro’s Level 4 self-driving tech, available exclusively through the Uber app. Honestly, this is a huge gamble, especially when both Lucid and Nuro have faced financial trouble lately. Still, Uber’s aggressive bet shows it’s serious about leading the autonomous ride market. If they pull this off, it could finally push robotaxis out of test mode and into reality — something the industry has long overpromised.

Tesla Tries a Bold China Comeback with New Model YL and Model 3 Plus

July 17, 2025July 17, 2025 by educatekaroin News, EV, TechLeave a Comment

Tesla clearly isn’t giving up on China’s brutal EV market just yet. After lukewarm sales and pressure from cheaper local rivals like BYD and Xiaomi, the company is back with new tricks. The Model YL, a bigger, three-row SUV, and Model 3 Plus, with a longer range, aim to grab attention. On paper, they look solid, but with prices likely higher than local alternatives, Tesla might have a tough sell. Still, it’s a smart move to push better features instead of just slashing prices. The EV war in China is intense, and Tesla knows it needs more than just hype to stay relevant.
